Questions about Pogo Wildfire

Where is Pogo Wildfire?

The official incident record places it in Southeast Fairbanks, Alaska. The map pin is a reported location, not the full fire boundary.

How large is Pogo Wildfire?

The latest available record reports 453 acres (approximately 183 hectares). This is reported incident size, not a measurement of current flames, and agencies can revise it.

How contained is Pogo Wildfire?

The latest available record reports 0% containment. Containment describes control work intended to stop spread. It is not the percentage extinguished or an all-clear for nearby communities.

When was Pogo Wildfire discovered?

The reported discovery date is Jun 20, 2026, 6:18 PM ET. Discovery time may differ from ignition time; elapsed time does not establish continuous burning.

Where should I check evacuation orders and road closures?

Use local emergency management, the sheriff or other law enforcement, and official fire-agency updates. WildfireSignal does not verify evacuation zones, open roads, or safe travel routes. The official-information section provides starting points; it does not establish that orders are present or absent.

Why can the map and the incident report differ?

Agency records, mapped perimeters and NASA satellite detections are updated on different schedules. Satellite heat near a fire is not automatically attributed to that incident. Older or unavailable data does not establish that an area is safe.

Where these numbers come from

WildfireSignal formats public WFIGS/NIFC incident records and displays separate NASA FIRMS detections. Incident facts, satellite observations and mapped boundaries can have different timestamps. Charts use only saved observations, not forecasts or reconstructed history.
